What’s New and Worth Watching On Netflix?

Netflix has been serving the audience with fresh hot shows and movies for a while now. Right now, the Korean show Squid Games is the most-watched show on Netflix, with others like Stranger Things, Wednesday, and Money Heist also on the most-watched list. 

The streamer has a habit of releasing and promoting new material almost every month, so there’s never a boring day if you have a subscription. So, naturally, the upcoming month is also stacked with amazing shows and movies to come including a comedy special by John Mulaney. While no other John Mulaney movies or tv shows are set to come, his special is sure to delight his fans. Here’s what else is coming up.

New and Netflix Upcoming

Right now, Netflix has perhaps the most advanced and wide-ranging gallery of films and shows to choose from. They have recently also added Carol, a film from 2015. The film is not new, but it is new to the streamer who really put in the effort to acquire streaming rights for the film. It stars Cate Blanchett, who was recently a nominee for an academy award for the film Tar. It’s a beautiful love story that also stars Rooney Mara opposite Cate with great cinematography, music, and a mind-numbingly gorgeous score.

Waco: American Apocalypse

An upcoming show about an inferno caught live in action as well as the fight between a cult leader and the U.S. government. This show has America written all over it. Set in the town of Waco, the show is dark, gritty, and deeply interesting. Waco is only a limited series that was released very recently, the show aired its very first episode on 22nd March. It’s fresh, interesting, and keeps you invested.

Even some of the top Hollywood movies on Netflix don’t have a rating this high for the show, which currently has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 90% and an IMDb rating of 7.1. There’s no doubt that you should watch this show.

John Mulaney: Baby J

And the moment comedy fans had been waiting for for the last five years. John Mulaney is all set to be back with a blast with his first stand-up special in the last five years. The show has already been shot in Symphony Hall in Boston, the director Alex Timbers along with John and the team shot it with a live audience in February this year. Mulaney’s last outing for a special was back in 2018 when he released Kid Gorgeous. 

Titled Baby J, the show is all set to be released on Netflix on the 25th of April. Movies coming out in 2023 certainly have a lot of competition, especially on Netflix.

The Night Agent

The first season of the brilliant crime thriller is also out this month. Released on the 23rd of March, The Night Agent, sees an FBI agent named Peter Sutherland getting propelled into a high-octane series of events.

In addition to Gabriel Basso, Hong Chau, who most recently rose to fame for her part in the Oscar-winning movie The Whale, also appears in the show. It is nice to see Chau receive all the acclaim and support she does since her profile has grown recently.
